In this procedure, optical fibres are inserted into the skin between the anus and scrotum (transperineal), and guided to the target area using ultrasound imaging. The fibres then deliver laser energy ...

Transperineal mapping biopsies mitigate these problems but carry increased cost and patient burden. Local anaesthetic, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted transperineal ...

Two new techniques have been key to the reduction in harm – multiparametric MRI scans and transperineal guided biopsies.

Advancements in diagnostic techniques have also been a focus of recent studies. For instance, transperineal ultrasound has emerged as a valuable tool for evaluating stress urinary incontinence ...

This guidance represents the view of NICE, arrived at after careful consideration of the evidence available. When exercising their judgement, healthcare professionals are expected to take this ...
